  2. National negotiation in the UK • The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) • Funded by further and higher education funding councils in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales through ‘top-sliced’ money • Not a single committee, but a nested committee structure responsible for stimulating the innovative use of IT in learning, teaching and research

  3. The JISC…. • Provides the network to all colleges and universities in the UK - via SuperJANET • Funds research and development e.g. the eLib Programme, authentication, Managed Learning Environments etc. • Raises awareness with government & senior managers • Provides support & training within the sector • Provides an environment for delivering electronic materials essential for learning, teaching and research • Negotiates with suppliers/publishers for e-content
